Everypony knows Rainbow Dash is not only awesome, but also radical and cool.
Everypony knows that poetry is unquestionably none of those things.
Twilight Sparkle doesn't seem to think so, and as such invites Rainbow to an afternoon of poetry, both reading and composing.

This is an okay bit of poetry, although it feels a bit a bit stiff. And even free-verse has a bit more flow to it. But keep up the good work!

Yay criticism! The best kind of comments!
I'm not kidding. I would much rather prefer this to heavy compliments and a mass of emoticons, so thank you.
Why does it bother me that this is so clever? Somehow it gives off a story through a bunch of poetry, and it's pretty funny. Still, I can't help but feel like the whole poetry thing is starting to get a little abused. This is good, but people can't help you improve your writing if it's just poetry. There isn't anything except personal interpretation of poetry. I think I understand this story, but I can also go into how it's trying to ship Rainbow Dash and Twilight. I just need support to back it up. Anyways, this is just my view on story-like poetry.
Final Verdict:
I cannot help you
I only help with stories
Poems are not stories.

There once was a reader of Fimfiction
Who accused poetry as a lack of good diction
But when they tried to review
They became torn in two
And his verdict had a clear contradiction
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. As soon as I realized the verdict was in haiku (That is, if you live in a place where it's poems instead of Poh-ems), I had to reply.
Is poetry really overdone on this site? I guess I need to read more. Or less, if what you say is true.
2085062 It's not necessarily over done (yet), it's just popping up a lot more than it used to. I really don't mind too bad (because I enjoy poetry), but there is some truth behind reviewing poetry. Sometimes it's just bad, and you can tell them that, but when you read good poems, it's hard to give advice on how to improve as a writer. When you read good stories you can always give advice even if its simply stating that the lines were a little confusing. There will always be room for improvement with stories, but poems just are harder to review.
I would love to learn if there is a proper review for poetry, because the only thing I know how to do is decide a message and determine the purpose, but I can always be proven wrong. Oh well.
Thank you for the poem, I like how clever you are. Sadly yes I do come from a place where they are Poh-ehms. Still didn't keep me from reading and writing them.
Now I give you the shortest short story by Ernest Hemingway rewritten for ponies. For sale: foal shoes, never worn.
2085002 You're welcome. I'm a co-president of my school's poetry club, so I (claim to) know good poetry. We're actually going to a slam in a few weeks, I'm psyched. Seeing something like this is a good sign that poetry has a place in this fandom.
